Joe and her mum were very friendly and kind from the very beginning to the very end of both of our stays in the house! The place (clean and shady) is located in a quiet area of Bangkok where only locals can be found. We didn't see a single tourist around. Everything seems to be quite safe also. At first, transportation seemed to be a problem but this was easily overcomed as the days passed by: from the house take the red vehicle to drop you off the corner of Soi 3, then take a took-took from the other side of the road to take you to the nearest BTS station and there you go. From the airport, take a cab, but pre-arrange the price or demand a "meter ride". Everything was perfect, the house is on the canal where it is beautiful to sit and relax both in the morning and at night as you see the river commotion. Last,the breakfast was truly Thai-style, with lots of rice, soups and fresh clean fruits! It was a great experience for me and my friends, if you are not in a expensive hotel kind of mood!
